FOREWORD
This Indian -Standard ( Fourth Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft
final ized by the Steel Castings Sectional Committee had been approved by the Metallurgical Engineering
Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1964 and was revised in 1973, 1982 and 1989. While reviewing the
standard in the light of the experience gained during these years the committee has decided that the standard
may be further revised. In this revision various clauses have been aligned with the recent standards on steel
castings. The following are the main modifications:
Carbon steel castings are surface hardened for special service conditions where a tough core with a hard
surface for better wear resistance is ‘necessary, for example, for heavy gears and anvils.
In the preparation of this standard, assistance has been derived from BS 3100 : 199 I ‘Steel castings for
general engineering purposes’, issued by the British Standards Institution.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, thp final
value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance
with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised )’. The number of significant places
retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
